[SGRupdate] SGR Letter on Military R&D Makes Headlines

[Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR)]

Dear Friends

An open letter* to the Prime Minister on science/military cuts,
co-ordinated  by SGR and signed by 36 UK professors, has generated a few
headlines - and some debate:

Military research should bear brunt of science cuts, say leading
scientists

Cut military R&D, not science funding

Scientists call for defence cuts

Do feel free to add your own comments to the articles in The Guardian ...

With best wishes

Office Manager.
